Pros:Construction, mechanics, AF, WR, full aperture yield, minimum distance.
Cons:?.
Opinion:Arrived Saturday tests done. I could not say this time on this point of view the weak points, perhaps the full-aperture angles and a certain vignetting but it is not possible to have all the reason for the center at f1.4/2.0 really a blade. Done a can of test between the zoom 16-55 and the new 18 1.4 Fuji same apertures and times with tripod long and close distances but the advantages of the 18 1.4 are minimal and only visible at the corners at very strong magnifications will perhaps have a slightly less nervous bokeh. A lens that in my opinion only sense if used at full aperture otherwise preferable the zoom 16-55 or other fixed lenses does the same job. Pros: Surely the very high performance AF very fast precise and silent, WR dust seals, construction with perfect rings really nice to hold it in your hand, really remarkable yield at full aperture, absence of chromatic aberrations. Cons: perhaps a slight vignetattura and angles at maximum opening too much difference between center and edges but certainly it was not possible to do different impossible to have center and edges with very high sharpness. Perhaps not right to make a comparison with the 16 1.4 but I find the behavior of the 18 1.4 different than at a center with a very high opening but at the expense of the corners, while the 16 1.4 the angles seem slightly better but perhaps less the difference between center and corners. Attention the sharpness yield at f1.4/2.0/2.8 in the center is also scary excellent behavior over long distance where it gains at the corners compared to other Fuji optics. You have to be careful when changing optics for the back lens reason. Also note slightly cold shade nothing dramatic. However, a record lens with full aperture and focus close to 20 cm, to buy only if you use those apertures f1.4 / 2.0 / 2.8 otherwise I think wasted as optics. Ok this morning many other tests against professional zoom lenses the 18 1.4 at the corners always remains superior with details to any aperture. Note: At full opening already excellent but already at f2.0 the very high level and also improves a lot the vignetting. Also noticed by moving the optics internal movements of the lenses a cloc noise. interesting if put on the camera body and activated the internal movements practically at zero no noise I would say excellent behavior. I don't make videos but definitely great for the latest generation of AF. In my opinion a very special luxury optics when there is no freehand light. The first time that on a Fuji lens I can not find a weak point on this optics even the hood mount improved the mechanics only perfection.
Pros:Focal length, sharpness, minimum focus distance construction
Cons:If you know what you buy no
Opinion:Of the truth... You're looking at the review to decide if it's best to change the 16mm with this... So first of all they are two completely different focal points, one more for landscape and the other more for reportage but if you have a limited budget like me you can do anything with both. Otherwise it's superior in everything (and I believe you 10 years apart would be obscene if it wasn't) Crispness, blurry, contrast and fabulous mini contrast. On the X-Pro3 it's really good for us, for me the 16th is a bit big. If you associate us with the Across simulation you will often have a virtually finished file. And it's not a phrase said for no reason... Lampshed too modern but that tastes... It's a difficult focal point. Don't think about going over there shooting 1.4 so it's all blurry... The composition remains ESSENTIAL!!! In the end the 16th was already great, this was improved in all the existing features... I have decided to replace the 16th but when I have more money I will definitely take it back!
